Ya majority runs back to the res....only a small bit in the bottom of the totes that dont drain between sprays.
I bought thin weather strip and sealed them.

Hey Diggs. LPA clueless. Been lurking all thru the build and deploy. Bummer having the funky leaf symptoms.
What kinda temps/humidity?
I forget if you are sealed or what. Venting day/night?

I think the leaf thing is under control, if i had to guess, i think it was a calmag issue. Since i upped it 2-3 days ago they appear much better.
Temps and humidity are all running through the controller. 84.5f 70rh right now.
Sorta sealed lol...no co2....using active intake and exhaust.

Thanks bud, they are back on track, i flipped the room yesterday.
The main stocks and secondary stems are already much much bigger compared to anything ive grown in soil or coco and in less than half the time. Its insane to watch.
Spray intervals were short, similar to HPA
Large pump, though I don't recall the GPH: A large pump is needed to push nutes through HPA mist heads . How large requires testing prior to running the set up. I did, b ut failed to understand that the sprays were splashing against the bottom of the lid and would soak into the net pots
The problem was the spray was splashing up against the bottom of the lid, getting past the stones and onto the starter cubes. The soaked cubes around the base of the plant was the cause of RR. Shouldn't be an issue with clones and no starter medium

Ive just been supercropping and mashing them every day, spreading them out and keeping the canopy somewhat flat. They are doing well tho.

Yes, but i have tinkered with the ml/g...same ratio but sometimes 2/3 or 4/6 ml/g depending on how the plants look or at what stage they are in.

Theyre pretty strong, I still lift mine enough to peek in once a week even with them under the screen.
Lookin good though!
I started up something of a LPA box myself to make some seeds. Took some tinkering but its working very well.

ya I lift them once a week to check things out. Every week they are getting heavier and heavier tho, so I’m nervous each time lol
I’ll take your word for it tho, you guys are used to these totes and lids. This is my first time using them.
